I am trying to locate my Great Great Grandmother, Henrietta Kathyrn McCandlish, who came over from Kirkcudbright Scotland somewhere between 1850-1860. I think it was closer to 1855-1858. I think her parents might have been William Candlish and mother Isabella, last name may have also been Candlish. Her grandparents might have been John & Jane Candlish. She might have had other siblings with a sister named Catherine. Henrietta's father remarried after her mother's death and at the age of 18-21 she came to the United States. Henrietta came by ship to the New York Harbor and then lived with her aunt in Iowa. Aunts name, I think, is Eliza Candlish, who later might have returned to Scotland. Henrietta married in Brookville, Iowa in January 27, 1859, to Fredrick C. Nawgel. I have not been able to find any records in Iowa of their marriage or etc. Henrietta's birthdate is June 2 or 5, 1837 and she died in August 18, 1900. I don't know if she, Eliza, was Henrietta's father's sister or who she is. I am assuming since this William Candlish funeral card is in the family Bible, he was her father. I also, have other funeral cards that were in the family Bible. They were for: 1) Catherine Grieve - Card states: Beloved wife of Thomas Davies who departed this life May 30, 1888. Toxteth Park Cemetery. Thinking maybe she was Henrietta's sister and was adopted by the Grieves. Maybe later married a Conning. 2) James Conning-d. October 26, 1885 at 25 years of age. Toxteth Cemetery. I have no idea who these people are, but they must be some importance as their cards were in the family Bible. Maybe her father-in-law? Not sure why Henrietta added the Mc to Candlish upon coming to U.S. or if her father used the Mc at one time. Is there a site to view this cemetery records? I can't find any concrete proof. I have no other info and keep running into walls. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Please reply. Thank you, Cindy -------------------------------------------------------
